Comments:

Dominique Delarue's concert guitars are very much admired and sought-after in recent years. They are strong cedar guitars with richness of tone combined with clarity, focus and sparkle. This 2009 guitar; also one we commissioned originally, is of typically high quality and is constructed in the same way as the current ones.
A fine concert guitar; the choice of many professionals and at a lower price than a new one.
